Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Add sugar, flour, evaporated milk, coconut, melted butter, and vanilla to the eggs.
- Mix until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a large greased dish.
- Bake at 375°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until set and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use unsweetened shredded coconut instead of the canned variety. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, you can substitute the flour with almond flour. Additionally, ensure your butter is melted but not too hot when mixing with the eggs to prevent them from cooking. This crustless coconut pie is perfect for using up leftover eggs or milk.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the crustless coconut pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence. It pairs beautifully with Swinging Salad for a light meal or can be enjoyed as a dessert after hearty dishes like Ham And Swiss Pinwheels. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until warm. You can also enjoy it cold straight from the fridge for a refreshing treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened?
Yes, you can use sweetened coconut if you prefer a sweeter pie. Just be aware that it will increase the overall sweetness of the dish. If you opt for sweetened coconut, consider reducing the sugar slightly to balance the flavors.
How can I make this pie dairy-free?
To make the crustless coconut pie dairy-free, substitute the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative. Use a plant-based milk, such as almond or oat milk, in place of evaporated milk. This will still yield a deliciously creamy pie.
Can I freeze the crustless coconut pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie! Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving, and enjoy it cold or warmed up.
